Poem: My Life

I don't have what it takes to make it

No matter how much I try to fake it 

There’s this feeling and I can’t shake it 

And this fear I just can’t break it 

It’s crazy 

It’s hazy 

It’s not that I’m lazy 

I’m just like a daisy 

Can’t make up my mind 

My life’s undefined 

I’m falling behind 

Keep hitting rewind

Instead of fast forward 

And me moving onward 

It seems I’ve gone toward 

A life of a coward 

Instead of progressing 

I’m constantly stressing 

And hope for a blessing 

Don’t want to be guessing 

I’m falling, I’m sorry 

I’m making you worry 

One moment of glory 

I’ll rewrite my story 

It may take a while 

To dig through the pile 

But life is a trial 

And filled with denial

You take it

You break it

And you fake it 

Till you make it
